Digital BW, The Print

Don,

I have coated a few color prints from an Epson 1270 using the OEM dye 
inks. I used a waterbased acrylic varnish system by Golden. The Epson 
dye inks are not water proof and I had to prespray the prints with 
Krylon spray to fix them prior to applying the varnish.

How were you applying the Damar varnish? Spray or brush or ?

The inks may have reacted to the solvent in the varnish or if the 
inks were not completely dry that could cause problems.
